Riski

Ah, that's good. So does sweet scenting in grass/cave still advance by 2 or is it different? I've been getting inconsistent advancements from it, haha...

I don't really care about shinies. I just need a flawless ditto :p

apparently not the ones from HG/SS

I know much was moved to http://www.smogon.com/ingame/rng/ over the past year.

Some of us are starting to discuss it on the #smogonwifi IRC channel:

[13:33] <WildEep> are you using radioseed?
[13:33] <eeatwork> not
[13:33] <Nexus> it is it worked out well for me, for all the ones i did and I was using step advancements which are supposedly inconsistent everywhere
[13:34] <WildEep> I haven't RNG'd any roamers via E4, but I'd imagine Radioseeding in front of Lance cuts out a lot of trouble
[13:34] <eeatwork> I get to the last elm call before entering elite 4
[13:35] <WildEep> (I need to figure out which Entei I want, and all other roamers I did/will do on the first release)
[13:35] <Nexus> wouldn't you trip the 128 advancements while getting to Lance?
[13:35] <Nexus> 128 steps advancements?

hmmm maybe that may have something to do with it although I can't seem to recall whether or not I picked up the enigma stone before or after I RNG'd for raikou

Would you happen to have a Ditto I could have for RNG?

In my game after elite 4 and before red, it was consistent for me if I got to the last elm letter right before my target frame before stepping into the elite 4. Good thing I have a save of my game so I could re-do raikou upon will at least.

Heyas Riski, have you done wild captures on HG/SS?

yeah man, honestly had you caught me 2 hours earlier, before I had captured Latias and saved my game I totally would have taken the time to do that several times over and help ya test it. :/

Oh, and yeah I've been having weird problems with pikatimer "drifting about" lately too. If you've read my notes, using the exact same seed for like 6 pokemon each pokemon required me to adjust pikatimer by some incriment of like 10ish each time. I have no idea why. It's the same seed with the same delay, and every time I use it it's 100% consistent, but then when I go to use it a few days later, with all the same settings pikatimer seems to be 10, or 20, or so off, though consistent with itself that particular time.

@_@

It is generated the moment you step out of the door according to OD's notes in the RNG thread.

Oh, sorry just saw this.

Well. When I tried to RNG Latias at the Fan Club, I kept getting weird inconsistent frames (which I don't believe I got on either of my last two Latias's I did on that same Japanese HG Cart). Just picking up the doll and walking out the door got me Frame 7-9 with only 1 roamer out and no other (known) advancements. Because of this, I released Latias, Killed it, Beat Red, RNG'd some other pokes, and FINALLY RNG'd Latias at the E4, which wasn't that hard even though I didn't have any roamers and I couldn't verify my seed with Oak Calls (cuz it's in japanese). When I did Latias at the E4 (after Red) its frames were consistent and made sense.

Is that what you're asking about.

so long as you have a save I suppose it's good to continue forward.

This is starting to look more and more like what I was experiencing with the bug catching contest where frame patterns were inconsistent too.

I haven't fought him yet. I read that string of posts by Expert Evan and decided to RNG Latios before I fought Red, just so I wouldn't have any of those problems. Sorry I can't help.
I think MattJ recently RNGed his roaming Latias, maybe he can help?

Oh? I just use RNG Reporter. With the Seed Finder open, just click "open search" and "show offset" and it should still find what you hit. Sometimes it's a bit "tricky" and you have to manually alter your seed and generate it and look through the results to find what you hit, but most of the time seed finder will find it.

As for generating the seeds... seed finder again lol. Go to seed finder, click open search and show offset again, put in any date/time/etc and put in the exact IVs/Nature you want, then click generate. It'll give you a list of seeds starting with the lowest target frame and going up. The delays are like anywhere from low (300ish or whatever) to like idunno 100,000. You just pick one you think you can hit then.

Worked for me so far.

I see, so red has something to do with it mayhaps. I hope it works out like predicted ^^

:o - too weird...now you've got me scared on attempting this, haha.

Interesting point as Red's presence may have something to do with it.

I wish I knew what's causing this instability. Better to suggest finishing up all roamers before Red while it's certainly doable then.

Yes, but as far as RNGing goes, I haven't touched it yet.

XD - posted this on my wall, haha.

Oh wow...no elm calls? So Joey and that other guy is the only way save radio? That's not cool at all, haha.

I was going to download radioseed, but apparently it said something about my .Net framework...which doesn't make sense, because other java apps are running just fine on my computer.

Good luck learning it though ^^ I'm sure you'll get it quickly :)

Ah, I see. That's not so bad then ^^ If pikatimer works for you, you should have that pretty quickly ^^

Method 1 is for all intent and purposes the same as method K, right? I mean, after RNG-ing for them in the champion's room that is :)

Ah, very nice. I hope you get it - is it on an incredibly high frame for you to have to do this?
